cheese grater and ice cream scoop


inspired by a cheese grater ~ this piece also has hand stitch and is one of my favourites

we're getting ready for our exhibition at college and that means painting wall and boards for all the work to be arranged on. The rooms look fresh and bright and on Thursday all the work has to go for final assessment and is then hung!! and so Im collecting all my work together Ive done so far in my HNC units, I dont think Ill be given much space to hang my things as Im part time but never the less it will be brilliant to have my work up with everyone elses


this piece is inspired by an ice cream scoop

My first wish is that my mum was here to see it! She would be so proud of me ~ that I know. My second wish is that all my kids would just come home from Australia ~ just for the exhibition mind they could then return to rainforests, diving off the Great Barrier reef, playing gigs and generally having fun ( what a life)! Back to the business in hand though ~ the exhibition, I'd forgetton some of the work I'd created back in September and so tonight I photographed it and thought I'd show those of you who are interested.

This unit was surface decoration for textiles and it was done with kitchen untensils! The media (which had to be black, white or shades of) could be dye, water colour or acrylic paint we could also use black ink and bleach and any kind of paper. We had to draw with our right hands and our left hands we had to oil the paper! bleach the paper, candle wax and batik wax the paper and then paint it with our kitchen utensils, the results were piles of fabulous papers which we then had to collage with again using the kitchen utensils as our inspiration.

as you'll see, my chosen items were a cheese grater and an ice cream scoop.


this piece is 3 dimensional and the cones are made from painted tissue paper
this is definitely inspired by the cheese grater

Oh Judy, I am so proud of you!! Your work is amazing and you deserve as much space as anybody, I hope they give it to you! I wish I could come over to see it, wouldn't that be a lovely excuse for a trip to England...might need a little bit more notice though I have to get my passport in order!
I am sure you will have a wonderful assessment and exhibition ( gosh those words are hard to type).
